The BGSE offers a doctoral program that combines demanding course work with early individual research in a supportive and intellectually demanding environment.

All BGSE activities are conducted in English. A number of grants are available. All students are provided with adequate office space. Our student body benefits from an excellent faculty and numerous collaborative research activities as well as from an international network of partner universities, e.g. within the European Doctoral Program.

Applications are only considered if they are complete and received by April 30, 2011. Courses start in October 2011.

The BGSE especially encourages highly qualified international and female students to apply for admission

Most* students who join the BGSE as students of the Master program are offered grants of about € 800 per month; most doctoral students are offered grants of about € 1.100 per month, to cover living expenses during the first year. Thereafter, grants are provided to students in good standing.

Students of the BGSE who have a paper accepted at a conference are provided with travel funds if the attendance of the conference is endorsed by the supervisor. Similar funds are available to attend summer schools.

The BGSE does not raise tuition from students admitted as doctoral students. Yet we ask our students to officially enrol with the University of Bonn as a doctoral student and pay the common contribution of app. € 216 per semester for general social services. A seasonal ticket for public transportation is included in this service fee.

In exceptional cases (e.g. going for a double masters' degree) students have to pay tuition (incl. common contribution) of app. € 716 per semester.

NOTE: If you apply for admission, you do NOT need to apply for grants separately!
